This is an A to T transversion at position 12313 of the DHC1b coding sequence that results in an Ile to Phe substitution at amino acid 4105. The mutation was UV-induced in the CC-125 background and the original strain was back-crossed twice to eliminate additional mutations that might have resulted from the UV exposure.
